A special thanks to all the staff, old scholars, coaches and senior students for their assistance in running the events. An extended thank you to Lucy Abraham and Millie Grant (Year 10 students) who spent the entire day entering data so we could have results at the conclusion of the day.

The results from this carnival are used to select a team for the SACPSSA carnival on 19 June, and a training squad in preparation for the City South SAPSASA Carnival on 23 August, 2017.
